Ukraine has escalated its use of long‑range drones in recent weeks, launching strikes deep within Russian territory. The campaign focuses on strategic and civilian targets.
Targets include oil facilities, warehouses, residential buildings, and other critical infrastructure. The attacks aim to disrupt logistics and supply chains.
The drones penetrate deep into Russian territory, reaching areas previously considered secure. This marks a significant escalation in the conflict.
Russian officials have condemned the raids as terrorist attacks against civilians. They argue that the strikes violate international norms.
In response, Russian forces have carried out retaliatory strikes aimed at Ukrainian military and defense‑related facilities. The counterattacks target bases, supply depots, and command centers.
The intensification of drone warfare and retaliatory strikes raises concerns about further escalation. Analysts warn that the cycle of attacks could lead to broader conflict.
